I have had many conversation about racism with non blacks that have been very enlightening. Sharing experiences has always been positive. After 43 years, I am planning to retire from education this year. I have been the only black teacher in a high school in Rose Tree Media, PA for two years, a mathematics teacher and Title I Supervisor in Philadelphia,PA for almost 25 years and now a mathematics teacher in rural Emporia,VA. it wasn’t until my husband I moved to Virginia that I even began to consider the impact that racism has on both blacks and whites. Their stories of helplessness and shame have been heartbreaking.
I will respond to you after completing the book. congratulations.

I am so glad to learn of your book, esp. on this very sensitive subject so long avoided in “polite” black/white conversations. This is a book I’ ll soon be reading. Congratulations!

I found this site and a treasure trove of photos and other info on your achievements in my search for the photo you mentioned in your recent email to me. That photo and the message got deleted somehow in a failed download. As a diehard book lover (librarian), I am elated to learn that you are also a published writer. I’m uncertain if any of those photos is the Smithsonian image.

Tue, 19 Aug 2014 04:22:09 +0000http://combineddestinies.com/?page_id=313#comment-14173Thank you for promoting this issue. This is what the US needs to focus on more and more so that we all resolve our problem as a whole and people stop looking at it as a outside problem. We all are effected. It is hard for most people to see this issue though. I hope this book will bring some light. God bless everyone involved in this movement.

Mon, 10 Mar 2014 22:12:03 +0000http://combineddestinies.com/?page_id=19#comment-8913Last week I had the privilege to attended the workshop Combined Destinies “Whites Sharing Grief About Racism” and both Ann Todd Jealous & Caroline Haskell were there to lead the workshop. Spending three hours with both of these remarkable women/authors and discussing “White Privileged” along with sharing our personal stories of grief about racism and how its impacted our lives left me with a profound feeling of “things can get better”. I have intentionally waited until today to begin reading the book. I wanted time to digest the workshop and its impact on me before reading the stories of others. I can’t wait to dive into its pages this evening! Thank you so much, Ann and Caroline

Wed, 04 Dec 2013 09:33:08 +0000http://combineddestinies.com/?page_id=25#comment-7680I recently read your book “Combines Destinies” and was deeply affected by the touching stories. In conjunction with racism, I have always been curious about what goes in the white consciousness. However, I have never been bold enough to ask how non-African Americans were affected by racism’s poison. Your book answered many of my questions, and it brought a certain unexpected peace. It was as if, everything came full circle for me. I am a young African-American woman, who is in search of knowledge. I think it’s essential as African Americans that we know the full story, because if we don’t, racism can again thrive through jaded one-sided thinking.

Thanks, also, for your interest in Combined Destinies. I hope you’ll find value in the book and that you’ll let us know what you think of it.
Happy Thanksgiving! Ann

I’m going to the book store today and either buy the book or order it. Congrats on your son’s position with the NAACP. Antiochians always seem to be in the vanguard in what is going on in the world today. Laurence is doing great things with his writing, research and teaching>at U of Pitt.

First, to re-establish contact with someone I have thought about all these years. Second, to congratulate you on what looks to be a fantastic book that I will want to use in class. I am still teaching–African Am history at the U of Pittsburgh.
